Tim Reynaga Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 TuanNA, what a beautiful build! Tamiya has updated their classic kit (the original molds date back to the late 1970s) - and you have made the most of it. Outstanding work! As for the anchors, beefy is right - they are upside down - but this is an easy fix! The significance of their gold color is the Retention Excellence Award (previously known as the Golden Anchor Award) which is an award given by the United States Department of the Navy for sustaining superior levels of military retention (re-enlistment and retention of crew by the ship). Navy ships are authorized to paint their anchors gold as a symbol of earning the award. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 This is a superb build @TuanNA. I really like it especially the weathering - subtle but very realistic. The Osprey and the two drones on the rear really set it off! I am not an expert on this ship, so have a question regarding the blue box like containers either side of the bridge structure, and also beside the rear 5 inch guns - are they some sort of life raft containers perhaps? Thanks Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
